1.) Setup
Serious accidents can happen when other people are allowed inside the OPERATOR ZONE (see below diagram). Keep
everyone out of the operator zone while operang the log splier. ALWAYS set up a SAFETY ZONE restricng
onlookers to at least 3 meters away from the log splier when in use.
2.) Unhook the Lifting Table (11) and carefully lower it to the ground.
3.) Start the Engine (4) by using the following instrucons:
a) Turn the engine switch to 'ON' position.
b) Slide the choke lever away from the fuel tank to activate the choke.
c) Turn the fuel tap on.
d) Raise the Throttle by sliding the throttle lever away from the fuel tank. Use between 25 to 50% throttle
when starting.
e) Pull the starter cord handle lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.
f) When the engine starts to run, deactivate the choke by sliding the lever towards the fuel tank.
g) Once the engine is running adjust the full throttle to 75% when using the machine.
4.) Carefully place a log on the Lifting Table (11). Maximum length of the log suitable for the logsplitter is 60cm.
5.) Push and hold the Control Valve Lever (7) downward. This will lift the Lifting Table (11) upward, allowing you to easily
roll the log on to the Splitting Bed (10). Once the log is in place and ready for splitting, push and hold the Control Valve
